COVID Spike Proteins Help Cancer Cells Survive, Resist Chemotherapy: Brown University Preprint Paper
Spike protein subunits appear to block the p53 gene that stops cancer cell growth and encourages DNA repair.
Modified RNA in COVID Vaccines May Contribute to Cancer Development: Review
In a review published on April 5, researchers argue that modification to mRNA causes immune suppression that may contribute to cancer development.
Spirulina Significantly Reduces COVID-19 Mortality: Study
Study participants took spirulina for six days. No deaths were recorded in the spirulina group, while 15 percent who only received standard treatment died.
Immune Cells Are the Most Susceptible to COVID Lung Infections: Stanford Study
The very cells meant to protect the lungs appear to work against the immune system, helping the virus replicate.
Long-Term Use of Popular Heartburn Drugs Increases Risk of Stomach Cancer: Review
Use for one year and three years was associated with 1.5- and 2.4-fold increases in the risk of stomach cancer, respectively.
FOIA Documents Reveal How 2 FDA Vaccine Oversight Staffers Sought Employment With Moderna
Two former U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) staffers who oversaw the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines now work at Moderna.
Vaccinated People Show Long COVID-Like Symptoms With Detectable Spike Proteins: Preprint Study
The findings indicate that the persistence of spike proteins was likely the driver for symptoms of long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome.
Mifepristone: Said to Be Safer Than Tylenol, but the Risks Are Beyond Bleeding
If it rules in favor of the Alliance of Hippocratic Medicine, pregnant women’s access to mifepristone could be limited.
Vaccinated People Are Immune Imprinted, Have Unusual Response to COVID-19 mRNA Boosters
Immune imprinting occurs when previous exposures leave such a strong immune memory that the body continues to produce antibodies targeting the past experience.
Researchers Concerned About Blood Transfusions From Vaccinated and Long-COVID Patients, Propose Changes: Preprint
The authors propose a system to track the health outcomes of blood recipients and that blood donors’ prior vaccine and infection history be recorded.
